Description
What kind of wine it is
De Vite by Hofstätter is a still white wine that reflects the authentic character of Trentino Alto Adige. It is born from a balanced blend of Pinot Bianco, Müller Thurgau, Sauvignon and Riesling. On the nose, clear notes of green apple and lemon verbena stand out, intertwined with delicate hints of white flowers, peach and a light touch of vanilla. The palate is dry, light and lively, supported by a fine acidity that enhances its persistent freshness. This structural harmony makes it an excellent companion for aperitifs, seafood starters and white meats.
Where it comes from
This white wine comes to life in the enchanting landscapes of the Vigneti Delle Dolomiti denomination. The vines grow in plots well exposed to the sun, enjoying an Alpine climate ideal for optimal aromatic development. The rocky and marl soils, which warm up quickly, impart a vibrant minerality and a well-defined territorial identity to the palate. These environmental characteristics give the wine a pronounced mountain recognisability and an easy-drinking quality, naturally enhancing the peculiarities of the region.
How it is produced
The winemaking process in the cellar follows a rigorous approach to enhance the raw material. The grapes undergo a gentle pressing, followed by clarification of the must through natural precipitation. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks, in order to preserve the integrity of the original aromas. The subsequent and brief maturation in steel precedes bottling, keeping the youthful profile of the wine intact and ensuring a harmonious and clean texture.
History and Curiosities
The J. Hofstätter De Vite 2024 originates from a winemaking tradition that began in Termeno in 1907. Today, the winery, led by the fourth generation of the Foradori Hofstätter family, combines the use of modern stainless steel tanks with traditional wooden barrels. A proud expression of the IGT Vigneti delle Dolomiti, this wine draws its character from marl soils and a fresh Alpine climate, which impart a vibrant minerality. Oenologist Martin Foradori translates over a century of experience into an elegant white wine.
